Airpura, an air purifier manufacturer, launched a back-to-school contest asking the public to nominate a school they felt deserved to win air purifiers for all of the school’s classrooms.

Over 1,725 nominations were received from across Canada and the U.S. and Cloverdale Traditional School of Surrey, British Columbia was named the winner of the contest and won 20 HEPA air purifiers for their school. They received the greatest number of votes from the community to help them win.

Ten runners-up also received one air purifier from Airpura. The following are the schools which were part of the Top 10 that were selected on the basis of the number of votes received: Millwood Elementary School (Nova Scotia), Wilbur E. Lucas Elementary (Texas), Indian Lake High School (Ohio), Kennedy Elementary (Texas), Southwest Adventist Junior Academy (Texas), Du Pont Middle School (West Virginia), George Greenaway Elementary School (British Columbia), Legacy Middle School (Florida), William J. Clinton Elementary (Texas), Pleasant Valley Elementary School (Pennsylvania).

“Our students, parents, and teachers are so thankful for the air purifiers. Especially during these tough times when health precautions are at a premium, our students and their parents are so happy that we can provide them cleaner air to breathe.” said Isaias Vidal, Principal of Wilbur E. Lucas Elementary School, winner of the second prize.

SARS-CoV-2 is the fifth pathogen that Airpura has addressed with their air filtration systems.
